To all whom it may concern:

it lrnown that I JACOB F. Ben-nan, a i c t zen of the United tates of America rei swim at Muskcgon, in the county of Kent and Late of Michi n, have invented 'reri taznnew and metal mProvemcnta in Automatic Carburetin -Mac lines and I do hcrcby declare the to lowin to a full, clear, and exact description 0 the invention, such as pill enable others skilled in the art to which it appertainn to make and one the same. i M invention relates to improvements in automatic carbureting machin and its obi Ject n} to rovide an automatica l operated machine r carburetinqair fort e urposc 5 of aiipplying a combusti le mixture or varione evicee, each an Wclsbuch'lighte, heati burners, internal combustion engines,! for various other urpoeea; and its ohi ject u to provide the evice with improved automatic means for proportioning the air i an dhydrocarbon; im roved meann for vap- I ormng the h 'droca n, and with various 2 new and use ult'eaturea, hereinafter more i fall described and particularly pointed out lll t claima, reference bein had to the accom ymg drawin in w rich:

F In. 1. in a ai elexation of a device i em 2. a vertical yin my invention; Fig. eectlon o the upper rt 0! t e name on the hue 2-42 of Fig. 1.; ig. 8. an enlarged deof F 2.; Fi 4.. detail in vertical aecnon t reugi t :e ante of the cylinder 5 and the chamber 7; FIE. 5 an enla horiaontal detail on the me 5-45 of Fig. 4. Fig. 6. a eat: of the vaporiain cone; and, Fig. 4. ed il of the adjuatable cket 21.

Like number: refer. to it e parta in all of the figures. I 1 represent: an upri which is aupplied ,with compreased air through the pipe 2 by any convenient air pump or comprecwr; 8 is a uafet" valve or laid tank; and 4 a pressure gage for the. same; 5 s the cylinder of a preaaure motor communicatm at the bottom with the tank by means 0 a pipe 6; 7 is a carburetin chamber mounted; n the tank 1 with which the lower part ofihe cylinder 15 communicatea b a passage 88 and a narrow verticall y e ongatedjiort 85 in the side of the c hnder 6. Tina port in clpeed by a piston movable'in tire cylinder 5, when acid t cylinder or tank i i I l 3 piston 'is in its lowered position and partially or wholly opened as the iston trees.

This )ort. 35; is adjusted for widt by a slide 36 n justed by a screw 37, as illustrated in Figs. -tand 5. A passage 34 communicates with the upper part of the cylinder 5 and the manage 33, whereby the piston 38 is auhliccted to pressure equal to that in the tan t l at the lmrcr side, and equal to the pressure in the curhurcting chamber 7 at the up include. The piston is thua moved npwart in the cylinder 6 by the diflere'nce in the respective pressures at its opposite sides, as hereafter explained, whereby when the pressure falls in the chamber 7, the iston will he raised by the excess of pressure low from the tank 1 and the port 85 opened more or loss to permit. air to pace from the tank 1 to the carburcting chamber 7.

A rwl 22 extends upward from the into!) 38 and is connected to the movable en of a lever 19, the other end of which lever is iivotcd in a hen or 20 adjnztnble upon a n'acket 21, where iy the length of the short end of the lever may be varied to vary the stroke of the gasolene admission valve, at hereinafter described. The bracket 2l 1a vertically ad'uatable to adjust the position of the valve 7 in its relation to the 20. Pivoted to the'lever 19 intermediate ita is a rod 18, which rod extends downward into a valve chest 17 in which is a valve 87 moved by eaid rod, to more or leaa opena narrow vertically elongated port 26 communicating with a filter, whichlilter co n price a cylindrical hodyfllt integral with the plug 10, which (lo-rs one end of the caeiug 14, the open end being covered by a screen 31. The cylinder 14 is provided with an annular groove which communicates with the part 26 and an o *ning between its groove and interior. Tii: open end of the cylinder cminnunicutw with a vertical chumher 13 having a duwnwartl extension 18 to 12' n; a pipe to supply gasolenc to the '1 chamber All. From thence it flows through the screen 31 and the filtering material containetl within' the cylinder 14, thence out through the openiu in the wuii oi" the cylinder into the unnn or groove and th ugh a second screen 31' nd escapes through the vertically olon ated port .26. closed more or less by the Vll vo 37, and the .ce through a sullicioutly heat the cone 30 and eflcctually.

is a pipe to drain any surplus fluid from the bottom of the chamber 7 in the event that it should not be wholly vaporized therein. The bottom of the cone is extended outward and forms a partition between the tank and chamber 7, being strengthened by the cone to resist pressure in the tank.

8 a pipe through which the carbureted air as corned to the ve burners or other place use, and 0 isa throttle-valve too nandcoessaid pipe.

9 is I small ggipe extending to the gaeolene tank (not own) to balance the resaure therein with the pressure in the 0 amberlto In operation whenever the 8 is wholly closed, the pressure will be aneed in the tank 1 and chamber 7 and the pistoh 88 will descend by gravity and close the ports and 96 thus automaticall cutting ot! the flow of air and gasolene o the chamber 7. Whenever the carbureted air is permitted to llow through the ipe 8, the pressure will all in the chamber and the excess of preaaure in the tank 1 vgill raise the piston 88 more or less and thua open the ports 85 and 26 more or lees according to the rapidity of the llow through the pipe 8 thus auto matically supplying the ll! an lene to the vaporizing chamber. By ad ustin the hanger 20 toward and from the rod 1 the throw of the valve 27 and consequent relative quantity of gasolenc admitted can be adjastml to properly proportion the same with the air, an by It justing the slide 30 the air inlet will be adjusted. By means u the turnbuckle .23, the rod 22 may also :ldj'lhslml in length and thus adjust the position of the platen 38 relative to the port 35,

If the recsure in the generating chamber should in any wav become too great for the safety of the machine, the closure 38 will blow out.
